This
Parox*-
Tombola
2013 differs mainly in the forms of two
observations versions. The be in time at right the
place version, or the home volcano observation at your
monitior. And this works like this.

Variation 1. One reason to pass
the Parox was the weather broadcast which predicted a
dense cloud layer around the summit of Mt. Etna. Who
is booking a flight in this situation. Variation 1
which prefered Richard and me, causes an increasing
frustration combinated with a boring taste during the
observations.

Variation 2.
The reason to catch
one Parox is to ignore the bad weather while staying
since the 22nd of April in the summit region, whereby
only Martin had the great luck. Therefore the
variation 2a was developed by Marc, which is not
described nearer in this site.

*(Paroxysm, - medically -> attack etc;
designation
of the very singular eruption form at the Volcano Etna with
intervals of hours (anno 2000) up to several weeks (anno
2011/12))

Before the bad weather front beginning at the 26th of
April real good observation conditions shows small ash
puffs at the bocca of the South East Cone II. Due to
the weak seismic the paroxism was in a distant
prospect.

Sometimes the SEC II threw out some glowing lapilli
boulder wich gave the photos a volcanic touch.

After the summit was covered
from friday to saturday afternoon in dense clouds like predicted by il Meteo, the tremor arised
clandestine and slowly.

Shortly after the bad weather front was moving away,
the volcanic ongoing was escalating and the seismic
was now increasing faster. Now, in the upper
Laghetto-region a good view made it possible to
observe more details of the gas and lapilli fontains.

Attention!!! A seldom detailed photo of a dissolving pyroclastic
flow from the bocca. The flow reached may the length
of 1,5 km in direction Val del Bove.

Finest scoria is grubing through some smaller side
vents. General ash turmoil close and underneath the
erupting place.

The volcanic fire works increased and the fontains
arised apprx. 300-500m

Bigger lava bubbles which exploded partly over the
whole bocca could be observed.
